4.3 Runtime Calibrations

Runtime calibrations are performed to reduce the variations in performance of the front end caused by change in temperature. These calibrations need to be performed at every cold boot and depending on the change in temperature and respective temperature bin index. The user application can make a decision to enable the runtime calibrations. The decision criteria of which calibrations need to be performed during the runtime based on the temperature change is detailed in Section 7. The various stages and steps for runtime calibrations to be performed by the user application is described in Section 6.2.

Table 4-2 Temperature Bin Index
Temperature Bin Device Junction Temperature (JT)
Low -40°C ≤ T < 0°C
Mid 0°C ≤ T < 85°C
High 85°C ≤ T < 125°C
